Draw Commands
Drawers let you edit terrain and nonterrain via point-and-click tools.
What Are Drawers?
Drawers are Landshape commands that are similar to classic Sketchup tools. All let you interact with terrain, some also with nonterrain. You interact by clicking or dragging, akin to drawing on the terrain, using it as a canvas.
Why Use Drawers?
Use Draw tools to shape, style, mesh, and edit with your terrain. Most Drawers are special-purpose tools. Each works in different ways.
Draw tools can be both quite accurate and fast. For instance, the tool simply called Draw is excellent for drawing organic areas, single edges and even points, very quickly. Its output may then be used by Pickers.
